Types of infection
Broadly speaking neonatal infections are considered as those that are acquired in utero, and those that are acquired at birth. The former group is referred to using the TORCH acronym; however, it is clear that the distinction between these groups is poor and probably artificial, and is only included since the term remains in widespread use.
